Each course fee covers registration for one student as well as the associated training curriculum. 

Our CKA and CKAD Boot Camp Programs also include a voucher for the CKA or CKAD exam, CKA or CKAD Self-Study Kit, CKA or CKAD Exam Prep and Drills and of course the proctored CKA or CKAD exam at the conclusion of each training class. 

Our training courses are led by an instructor either in-person or virtually and consist of lectures, hands-on lab work, exercises and purpose-built demos modeled after real-world scenarios.

* COVID-19 Update: We are committed to the success of our clients and keeping the global economy moving. For the health and safety of our clients and staff, existing open enrollment engagements will be moved to virtual delivery until conditions make in-person offerings suitable again.

Each option has its own benefits and potential drawbacks to consider. For example, in-person training offers engaging camaraderie among training attendees and allows for a more dynamic experience with the training instructor. 

Should the course require travel to attend, virtual training can be more cost-efficient when factoring in travel costs as well as more comfortable for those who learn best in an environment of their choice such as a familiar space at work. 

Our suggestion is to choose whichever format will facilitate the best learning experience for you.

RX-M’s CKA and CKAD Boot Camps include a proctored exam at the conclusion of the class. If the student receives a passing score an official CKA or CKAD certification will be awarded from the Linux Foundation.

The certification exam is proctored remotely by PSI under a partnership with The Linux Foundation/CNCF.  RX-M coordinates all individual and group exam sessions.  

For additional information on exam process and requirements, see the exam handbook: https://training.linuxfoundation.org/go/cka-ckad-candidate-handbook.

Exams are scored automatically, usually within 24 hours of completion. Results will be emailed within 36 hours from the time that the exam was completed. 

Exams are graded for results. There may be more than one way to perform an objective on an exam and, unless otherwise specified, the candidate can pick any available path to perform the objective as long as it produces the correct result.

For the CKA and CKAD exams, a score of 66% or above must be earned to pass.
